That Ratchet & Clank movie trailer sure came out of nowhere, huh? Here's another tidbit of news from a little further out of left field; A studio named Blockade Entertainment is working on a CG movie based on Ninja Theory's Heavenly Sword.

The movie is currently in production at the studio and was scripted by Drive Angry writer, Todd Farmer. Anna Torv will be returning to voice Nariko, but unfortunately, Andy Serkis won't be reprising his role as the evil King Bohan. Instead, Bohan will be played by Alfred Molina, who you'll most likely recognize as Doctor Octopus from Spiderman 2.

Though often referred to as a flop, Heavenly Sword actually wasn't the expensive catastrophe many seem to think. It sold relatively well for a new IP, clearing a million copies sold, even as the PS3 struggled to match the install base of the 360. It received a warm critical response, with a Metacritic score of 79 and a generous user score of 8.4. But the game isn't really remembered for its mechanics as much as its bizarre plot - courtesy of Mirror's Edge pensmith, Rhianna Pratchett - and its stellar voice acting.

Heavenly Sword isn't exactly a huge franchise at this point, its planned sequel having been scrapped years ago, but, much like Ratchet and Clank, Noriko did appear in the recently released PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale. Could this be a start of a movie series based on those characters? Is there a vague possibility of a Gravity Rush movie, or alternatively, an 8-Mile-esque Parappa the Rapper movie? Please let that be the case.

Perhaps this and the Ratchet and Clank movie are proof of concept projects to show that Sony's intellectual property have the ability to carry a feature length film to turn them into multimedia franchises?

It wouldn't be a stretch of the imagination to try and turn them into more recognised franchises (granted Ratchet and Clank are already very well known) and relaunch/launch them on the PS4.

Okay, I honestly hate you for putting those ideas into my head because now I really want to see those happen. But I also never want to see that happen because assuming a Hollywood release, I just know they'd both suck.

Sweet! Heavenly Sword was an awesome game. Maybe if this does well Sony can finally lure Ninja Theory back to do a sequel. Although I'd also be okay if they didn't; the ending was fantastic and wrapped up most of the loose ends.

Too bad they didn't get Andy Serkis back. Alfred Molina is awesome, but Serkis owned the part of that crazy motherfucker.

Robot chicken already saw to the Parappa the Rapper idea:

And for some reason I read the first one as Gravity Falls. I was gunna do the whole "six seasons and a movie!" bit

I know it wasn't an absolutely fabulous game, but I could actually see Heavenly Sword making a pretty good over the top Martial Arts flick in the style of Hero or House of Flying Daggers. Shame it wouldn't have Andy Serkis in it, though; he was one of my favourite parts of that game.

I just hope this will be better than the other stuff Rainmaker has done since they changed the name from Mainframe to Rainmaker. If you look at their modern filmography, it's full of stuff like the CGI Barbie movies and those crappy Scary Godmother specials. Really a shame for the place that brought us Beast Wars and Reboot.

People still remember this game and care enough for them to make a film out of it?Granted I do admit that the advert of the game was impressive cos the visual made it look like it wasn't a game (game graphic) or was that a lie (the text below the ad say it was the ingame engine or something like that)?

I think it's important to point out that the guys who made ReBoot don't work for Rainmaker. They're off doing their own shit now. Rainmaker just owns the rights to ReBoot after buying Mainframe entertainment.

This is like if I said the guys who made Star Wars are making Guardians of the Galaxy.

Wow sounds great! I am one of a few people who really enjoyed the game!! It's something I'd like to call: Flawed perfection. The story is cheesy, but the characters are enjoyable, unique and memorable. The gameplay is simple but it works.And the voice acting and facial expressions... damn! Music too, amazing!
